A Little About Me
The first blow was in 2001. Like most all American's, I was devastated by the events of September 11th that unfolded on the TV screen. By that afternoon the stories of what happened in the morning were already conflicting with each other. By the time the evening 'news' aired nothing was making sense. How could there be so many different versions from eye witnesses, 1st responders, and the main stream media? My mind was reeling.
The truth is my son was on the USS Radford (a destroyer) and I was in fear for his life; I was going out of my mind... sheer terror is the only emotional description that comes to mind.
To my knowledge the Radford was attached to the JFK aircraft carrier; the JFK was deployed to NY late that morning. I went to our local recruiting office where one of the recruiters was a young man that had been in my 4-H club when he was a child; he and others in the office in Kalispell, MT told me that the Radford was now attached to the Eisenhower. The Eisenhower was deployed to the Middle East later that day! As a mother my attention was focused only on 'where is my son' ? Within a of couple days I was notified at 5:00 am in the morning that my son was safe; that was all that they could tell me, but my son was safe. The feeling of joy from that news was overwhelming. Perhaps the Radford was an 'old' ship an was being reassigned and reassigned. It never did deploy for the Middle East.
Back to the events of 9/11/2001... The conflicting stories and videos that I had seen on the television kept replaying in my head; the more they played the less sense they made and everyday new information surfaced. The search for truth began. No longer did I trust what I saw on the 'News'.
The second blow was when I found Daneen Peterson's website, 'Stop the North American Union', and read her article Two 'Acts' of Tyranny In One Day. Our loss of The Writ of Habeas Corpus and The Patriot Act made the blood chill in my veins. That was the beginning of trying to decipher between lies, half-lies, and the TRUTH.
"...my purpose is twofold... to inspire you to never, ever stand down if you know that something is going wrong. If you know that there is an injustice speak out regardless; because if you don't want to live the rest of your life knowing that (I) you could have done more... you do not want to live with that" .
